Your player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files), and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

You should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 or WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Maintaining

Cleaning

•Before cleaning the screen, unplug your TV from the power outlet.

•Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of your TV with a soft cloth immersed in lukewarm water, then wrung dry.

•Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not spray insecticide liquid near your TV. Such chemicals may cause damage and discoloration to the exposed surfaces.

Care and handling of discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints do not get on the surface. Never stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Servicing

Do not try to repair your TV yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Turn off your TV, unplug the power cord, then contact an authorized service center.

Troubleshooting

Using progressive scan

Not all high-definition televisions are fully compatible with your player and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture.

In case of progressive scan picture problems, we recommend that you switch the connection to the standard definition output. If there are questions regarding your television’s compatibility with your player, contact our customer service center.

Use the following check list for troubleshooting when you have problems with your TV. Consult your local dealer or service outlet if problems persist.

Make sure that all connections are correctly made.

TV reception problems

 

 

 

Ghosts in the picture

Ghosts are caused by the television signal

 

following two paths. One is the direct path

 

and the other is reflected by tall buildings,

 

hills or other large objects. Changing the

 

direction or position of the antenna may

 

improve the reception.

 

 

Ignition noise

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear,

 

or the picture may flutter or drift. Usually

 

caused by interference from automobile

 

ignition systems, neon lamps, or AC-powered

 

tools and appliances, such as drills or hair

 

dryers.

 

 

Snow in the picture

If the TV is located far from the TV station,

 

such as in a fringe reception area where the

 

signal is weak, small dots may appear in the

 

picture. If the signal is extremely weak, the

 

installation of a larger external antenna may

 

be necessary.

 

 

Radio frequency

Caused by two-way radios, this type of

interference (RFI)

interference produces moving ripples or

 

diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases

 

may cause a loss of contrast in the picture.

 

Changing the direction and position of the

 

antenna or installing an RFI filter may

 

improve the picture.

 

 

Picture size variations

A slight picture size variation is normal when

 

you adjust the contrast or brightness

 

settings.

 

 

Poor or no sound

• Station or cable TV are experiencing

 

problems. Tune to another station.

 

• Check volume adjustments or muting.

 

• Check for sources of possible

 

interference.

 

 

Poor or no picture

• Station or cable TV are experiencing

 

problems. Tune to another station.

 

• Check antenna or cable TV connections.

 

Reorient the antenna.

 

• Check for sources of possible

 

interference.

 

• Check picture control adjustments.

 

 

Poor reception on

• Station or cable TV are experiencing

some channels

problems. Tune to another station.

 

• Station signal is weak. Reorient the

 

antenna to receive stronger station.

 

• Check for sources of possible

 

interference.
